Finally got started on some bodywork

I have had my truck for a couple of years now. there is no rust and it's in pretty decent shape. The major problem is the bed. It looks like someone took a baseball bat to the top 6 inches or maybe it was used as a farm truck or something. Anyway, I finally got out and started pulling the major dents and filling to make it as smooth as I feel good about. lol The drivers side is as done as it's going to get and the passenger side is still pretty rough but I'll get to it next weekend. I'm going to shoot the whole thing in black primer and then roll on OD Green from Monstaliner. After that some Move bumpers and a winch. Before I apply the liner I'll pull the bed so can get behind the cab. While the bed is off I'll wire wheel the frame and rear end and get some tractor paint on it. the rear springs are a little soft so they will be replaced during that time. A lot of work still to go but at least it's dependable now and is starting to look better.

Wear a mask when you sand that stuff. Its dust doesn't do good things in your respiratory system...
